There seems to be an assumption that in the future we will still be mass producing everything and you can just rock on down to a shop and barter with your friendly shop owner for what ever you think you need.

Sorry guys but any kind of money or barter or any system will almost always leave someone out in the cold or in debt.
how can you blame that on a piece of paper? maybe I dont get it but that just sounds silly to me. When you really examine it, isn't it really about human behavior? Isn't it about the concept of winning/losing.....the embedded philosophy of COMPETITION...that someone has to lose in order for you to win. If we change that paradigm, it won't matter what we use...money, toilet paper, marbles, or nothing at all.
